Satanic Dagga Orgy

Hailing from the North, East and West of Johannesburg, South Africa - Satanic Dagga Orgy (SDO) is a smorgasbord of folk, punk, comedy and tasteful nudity.

Four years, 3 extended play albums and 3 singles later, SDO is tickling the feet of the South African comedy and music industries with their sharp lyrical content and Billboard Top 100 hooks, even though they've only had a #1 single in Potchefstroom.

SDO draws influence from pop music, to punk and country music, and by craftily stitching each element together you are reminded of why music is great – because you can sing and dance. The mixture of acoustic instruments and slightly fuzzed-up-at-times electric guitar is the perfect collision of melody and power. Putting the cherry on the kak is every chuckle after realising their lyrical punchlines, or perhaps even cringing in disbelief of what they just said.

If anything, Satanic Dagga Orgy is a band you need to watch just to confirm whether you like them or not, and you'll like them.
